Tires Toyo or DUNLOP

I recently purchased a set of 4 Toyo Celsius 2 tires for my 2019 Kia Optima. After living with them for a couple of days, they're good but they have a couple of weird quirks.

Pros: Pretty quiet, great snow/ice traction, soaks up bumps great.

Cons: The compound feels unnervingly soft, to the point it feels like it's running on low pressure (it's not). As a result, I feel like dry handling takes a big hit. I can't speak much for MPG but because of how soft the tires are, there seems to be a lot of rolling resistance.

Toyo open country ct are a super durable tire. I've got 60k on my set now and about to replace. Never lost much tire pressure and I've got 3 deck screws in 2 of them that I cut off rather than plug. Couldn't be happier, great grip and look 275/70/r18

I like the Toyo AT-2or3 good and grippy in slop, hardly any road noise that I've noticed on the highway.

I don’t think I’ll run a different tire on my crosstrek again

I’ve got Dunlop Winter Sport 5 195/55 R16 87H and they’re great. Consumption, noise and grip all well balanced.

So for I like them more than the ko2s. They seem more quite over the ko2s. I think they are a thicker ply tire than the ko2s and can support more weight as well. I get about 20mpg hwy at 79mph.

If you’re looking for a great off-road, snow tire that’s also good on pavement and doesn’t hum like crazy might I recommend the Toyo open country AT 3.

I had two sets on two trucks, loved them for the first 10k miles and after that they pulled to the right all the time and were quite loud. Getting alignments done didn’t help it pulling to the right and as soon as I got different tires the pull went away.

I have the same tires on my 22 SE and they suck lol. Mine has the same issue with little pebbles stuck in the treads.

First came with Michelin tires, had no complaints about them, second came with Dunlop's and they are trash. The tires are loud, and pick up rocks and small pebbles on the outer and inner edges of the tires, that don't fly out while driving. Tires have less than 15k km on them. It's caused some vibration and I've had to manually take them out from time to time.
